  1. If you can find some of the well marked, long fibered side feathers they make decent Wally wings for smaller flies.

  3. I have to admit, I feel a little out of place, as a lot of you have been tying longer than I've been alive. But I've been tying dries for about four months and I'm looking forward to trying them out this summer. I appreciate all the knowledge being shared here, guys.
  4. Everything that I have seen, read, and watched, has said to keep the "dull" side of the hackle facing you when tying and towards the eye when you palmer it. I am not sure what I am doing wrong, but it always seems to twist on me. Being new to tying also, I had the same frustration with hackle "twisting" while taking wraps and not orienting perpendicular to the hook shank. Orvis has awesome instructional videos. In most of them, they mention stripping a few fibers from the far side of the stem before taking wraps with it. That will help the fibers orient correctly and I've found that to be huge help.
